Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128: 128-Kindness Works.

Verity:

Ever since the doctor told me what they found in my blood work, I had been stunned.

I sat silently on the bed, chewing my nails.

There was only one person I could think of who might have done it, Roman.

That explained why he had constantly forced me to finish my milk.

That explained why he had been so determined to make me finish my breakfast.

And I did. However, when he wasn’t looking, I poured most of the milk down the sink.

Not because I suspected him of anything, but because I wanted to get out of there.

That urgency saved me.

My phone beeped, and I checked it. It was Roman.

Now I knew why he had been so worried about me going to work while the drugs were still in my system.

I clenched my jaw, thinking about dealing with him later, before I walked out of my room.

I walked straight to the reception desk, my discharge papers folded in my hand.

The woman behind the counter looked up as I approached.

"Good evening. How can I help you?" she asked.

"I’ve just been discharged," I said, setting the papers on the counter. "I’d also like to take care of another patient’s bill."

She gave me a polite smile and nodded.

"Of course. May I have the patient’s name?" she asked.

I rubbed the back of my neck in confusion.

"The man who arrived with me. The flower shop owner. The one who had the heart attack."

Recognition crossed her face immediately.

Her fingers moved across the keyboard as she pulled up his records. After a few seconds, she glanced back at me.

"Would you like to cover the entire outstanding balance?" she asked.

"Everything," I replied.

She confirmed the total and turned the payment terminal toward me.

I slipped my card into the reader, entered my PIN, and waited while it processed.

A soft beep broke the silence.

"Payment approved," she said, printing the receipt. "The balance has been cleared."

I let out a quiet breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding.

"Can you please do one more thing for me?" I asked and once again she nodded.

I studied her face for a moment, then decided against my original idea.

I had planned to leave a letter for him, maybe even my number, but I decided not to leave any trace like that.

"Can you please let me know when he wakes up?" I asked while the smile never left my lips.

"He’s actually awake now," she replied, snapping my head up.

"He is?"

She gave me a gentle nod.

"Yes. He’s still in the cardiac unit, but he’s awake and stable. You can see him for a few minutes if you’d like."

Relief washed over me. Knowing he was alive and doing better lifted a weight off my chest.

"I’d like that," I said.
